Hey, good morning. It's Sunday, March 16th. I'm Ali Valshi. We've got brand new polling from NBC this morning, showing that for the first time in the polls history, a majority of Americans disapprove of Donald Trump's handling of the economy. Now, we're going to dig into

early days of the pandemic.

It's been less than two months since the novel coronavirus COVID-19 first arrived in the

United States, and since then, it has wrought havoc into the United States and indeed to much of the world.

Overnight, the House of Representatives passed a bipartisan coronavirus aid package that includes
